A Look In the Cubs Bullpen … and Other Videos

The Cubs took the field for the second time of the spring Monday afternoon. Q’s crew was able to get work in before, during and after the game.

Tyler Colvin took more grounders at first and the team was able to take a little BP before the first pitch. Randy Wells, Andrew Cashner, Jay Jackson, Kerry Wood, John Gaub, Chris Carpenter and Sean Marshall warmed up in the pen before entering the game.

Here are a few videos from Monday at HoHoKam Park …

Andrew Cashner spent time working on different grips with Lester Strode. Cashner appears to have a plan when he takes the mound. After his outing, Cashner said he felt his stuff was good but the ball just didn’t go where he wanted.

When a Kerry Wood fastball hits a catcher’s mitt, it makes a different sound from other fastballs. A crowd gathered around the Cubs’ pen when Wood took the hill and he did not disappoint.

Sean Marshall was one of the best relievers in the NL a year ago … but that was then. On Monday he continued working with Lester Strode on improving his craft.
